HOW DID PENDANT PRODUCTIONS COME TO BE?

In late August of 2004, along with a few close friends and family members, I formed Pendant Productions. Pendant is an audio production group dedicated to making radio dramas like the old radio serials of the '30s and '40s, only modernized for today's audiences.

Think of them as movies without the video feed.

Our first project was based around our mutual love of Star Trek. "Star Trek: Defiant" is a text based story list that I started way back in 1995. And it's still around, too. One of the group members had been doing short radio dramas loosely based on the expansive universe we'd all created together over the course of a decade. Due to creative differences, I was asked by several group members if realizing Defiant in audio was something that I might be able to do myself. I looked into it, and to my surprise, I was able to find enough sound effects and even a decent audio mixing program to make it possible. So we went forward with that project and, despite a bit of a production lag due to circumstances beyond our control (that's life for you), it's now going strong and is one of our most popular fan-based shows.

I've been a huge Superman fan for as long as I can remember. Not long after starting the first Defiant audio, I was able to listen to some of the old Superman radio serials from the 1940s and they were a lot of fun. And then it hit me... we could do Superman audio stories too!

And that's how it all began. Since then we've grown in scope and members farther than I ever thought we would, and we're having a great time doing it.

And so before you sits the fruits of our labor. We make no money whatsoever off of this, and do it purely for fun and entertainment.

We're always accepting new members, so if you'd like to join us you're more than welcome. All you need is a computer and a microphone. So thanks for stopping by, and let us know what you think!

We hope that you enjoy our artistic audio endeavors, and that we can provide you with some relaxation and entertainment whenever you need it. Thanks for listening!

HOW CAN I HELP PROMOTE PENDANT PRODUCTIONS?

We have produced a full-color, double-sided promotional flyer to preview our shows. If you would like to ask your local comic/gaming/etc shop if you can leave some there for their customers, that would be fantastic.

If you intend to do that, however, please ASK the people at the shop and get their permission before you leave the flyers. We don't want to get people angry or upset with us, so please respect people's wishes and do NOT leave these anywhere they are not wanted.

Taking some to leave on flyer tables at conventions is also a fine idea.

Download the flyer!

CAN I POST CASTING CALLS FOR MY NON-PENDANT PROJECTS TO THE PENDANT MAILING LIST?

People have asked if they can post casting calls for their own personal projects (or projects for other companies they are also part of) to the Pendant mailing list. The answer is both yes and no.

Pendant is not and has never been a general voice acting/radio drama group.

We weren't always the size we are now and we used to have to post casting calls outside of our own group. The good news is there are places designed for exactly that, and that's where we started. And that's where you can start, too.

We suggest you try:

The Voice Acting Alliance

Audio Auditions

If you ARE a present member of Pendant and people know you from discussions and roles in our shows, and you would like to post a casting call for your personal project outside of Pendant, please follow these rules:

1. Your subject line must read:
OFF-TOPIC: NON-PENDANT CASTING CALL

Please keep it in all caps, do not add the show title or any other information to the subject line. This will make it easier for people who are not interested in outside casting calls to easily avoid them. Then they don't get upset, I don't have to deal with complaints, and you don't get anyone angry at you.

2. Do not paste your casting call into the body of the email. Simply link to the casting call wherever else it is posted (on the Voice Acting Alliance message boards, etc)

That's all there is to it.

We're a very easygoing bunch of folks and this is basically the ONLY rule we have on our mailing list (other than... hey, be nice to people).

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR DIRECTING OR ACTING IN A PENDANT SHOW?

You must be 18 years old to participate in the Pendant director's class or direct a show for us.

You must be 18 years old to act in any Pendant show that is labeled as R-rated. These rating can be seen near the top of any show page, under the newest art.
Currently, our R-rated shows are:
"The Kingery", "The Line", and "Once Upon a Time in Vegas".

Note that Seminar episodes are handled on an episode-by-episode basis. Some episodes may be inappropriate for younger listeners, and will display a notice in the casting call that is for those 18 over only.

These rules are not designed to punish anyone, but to protect the long-term health of Pendant's audio shows and volunteers.

HOW CAN I SUBMIT AN AUDITION TO PENDANT PRODUCTIONS?

All auditions are always open to everyone and you can audition for as many roles as you'd like.

Please record all auditions in Mp3 files, at 44,100hz, 128kbps. Feel free to include two or three takes in each Mp3 file if you want to try a line in a few different ways: with different emotion, emphasis or accents.

Please send the lines without adding any filters or effects and without doing any noise reduction. Our directors do all that later, so we want to hear what you sound like in a pure recording.

Put your finished lines into one zip file for each character and check individual casting call details for the address to send them to.

Casting call results are announced after the deadline in TWIP: This Week In Pendant and the script will be e-mailed to the new cast members.

I WOULD LIKE TO HELP MAKE THESE AWESOME PIECES OF AUDIO GOODNESS. HOW CAN I JOIN PENDANT PRODUCTIONS?

We are always looking for new members. If you're interested in just keeping up with our projects or would like to help out (by auditioning for roles or otherwise), please feel free to stop by our Yahoo group and sign up:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pendant

When applying to join, mention that you followed the link from the website. This is so we know you're a real person and can keep spammers out. Thanks!

We're looking for actors, artists, audio mixers and flash animators. If you'd like to help out, please sign up!

If you're interested in auditioning for roles, all you have to do is follow the instructions posted with the casting calls for the roles you'd like to audition for. All auditions are always open to everyone and you can audition for as many roles as you'd like.

Here are some tips on recording lines:

1. You will need a microphone. You can get decent ones for around $10, although many computers seem to come with one type or another these days.

2. You will need a program to record your lines in. Windows Sound Recorder is not a good option.

Audacity is a good program to record your lines in, and it's completely free and is available for both Mac and PC. It doesn't get much better than that.

3. Listen to your lines after recording them. Be sure that you are happy with how they sound and don't be afraid to do them over until you get them the way you want them. Often times I'll record one line four or five times before I get a reading that I'm happy with.

4. Listen for any "breath pops" in the sound file. These are made from your breath hitting the mic and can be next to impossible to remove in the editing process. They most often occur with headsets, where the mic ends up too close to your mouth. If there's a "pop" in the line, you'll need to redo it to get a clean recording. Also try to minimize any echos you might hear and be sure background noise is as ambient as possible (your computer fan is fine, a television or radio, or dog barking is not).

WHAT MICROPHONE AND MIC TECHNIQUE SHOULD I USE TO RECORD LINES?

We don't demand that anyone use a particular microphone, as budgets and equipment availability are different for everyone. However, when the actors and directors of Pendant are polled, a few microphones repeatedly get positive mentions.

The Blue Snowball is widely used and highly recommended by the Pendant creatives. As an alternative, the Logitech Desktop USB mic delivers adequate sound. We recommend against headset mics, as they're more likely to pick up a sibilant S, a popped P or unwanted breathing, etc.

If your mic (like the Snowball) offers multiple settings, be sure to put it on unidirectional to cut down any echo. If you're still getting a lot of echo, be sure you're not facing any large, flat surfaces (walls, computer monitors, etc) that might reflect the sound back to the mic. Try putting blankets or pillows behind the mic to further cut down any echo. Many people find putting socks over their mics makes for an excellent pop filter, etc. Although, depending on your voice a sock may not be enough to catch all the essplosives, popping P's and so forth.

What helps even more is not speaking directly into the mic. Instead, speak over the mic, so your breath isn't directed towards where sound is received. (Place the mic under your chin a bit.)

WHAT FORMAT ARE THE PENDANT SCRIPTS IN AND WHAT SOFTWARE SHOULD I USE TO WRITE A SCRIPT?

All Pendant scripts are in Hollywood Screenplay format. We add line numbers for the dialog (and only the dialog). You can read a little more, and see a sample Pendant script here:
Submitting A Script For Inclusion In "Seminar"

Bruce Campbell has a simple and clear explanation of screenwriting and screenplay formatting on his site here:
Shun Society, Be a Screenwriter

In this format, one page generally equals one minute of finished audio. This helps everyone involved gauge how long a scene or show will be.

Bernadette Groves, Editor of Seminar, has done a series of videos to help with script formatting.
1. Scene Headings
2. SFX Lines
3. Character Name and Dialogue
4. Transitions
5. Numbering
6. Submitting Your Script

The writers at Pendant use a variety of different software. There isn't a single correct choice. All that matters is that your final script appears correct.

For professional software, there's Movie Magic Screenwriter and Final Draft. Both of these applications run on Macs and PCs, although we suggest Screenwriter on the Mac and Final Draft on Windows. Both of these apps run about $150, however they provide the easiest and least painful experiences.
You can visit their sites here:
Movie Magic Screenwriter
Final Draft

If you like writing in Microsoft Word, both Microsoft and the BBC have screenplay templates that you can use. The BBC template, called ScriptSmart, is hosted at the BBC Writer's Room, which hosts a treasure trove of info on all sorts of writing.
Visit them here:
MS Screenplay Template
BBC writersroom

Pages, a part of Apple's iWork comes with a built-in Screenplay template.
More info is here:
iWork - Pages

Finally, there is one free choice in screenwriting software. Celtx runs on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
A very important note: Celtx has multiple script formats. If you are writing for Pendant, you need to use the "Film" format, and NOT the "Audio Play" format.
More info here:
Celtx

Pendant now also has a group set up for writers to get feedback on their scripts before submitting them to "Seminar" or before pitching new show ideas to the executive producer. Review and discussion of peer scripts is encouraged. You can join it here:
Pendant Write Club

HOW DO I ADD LINE NUMBERS TO THE DIALOG IN A SCRIPT?

In Movie Magic Screenwriter:
Open the "Production" menu, then the "Animation Locking" sub-menu, and select "Lock Dialogue Numbering".
Now, when you add and remove dialog, Screenwriter will automatically update the numbering.

In Final Draft:
Go to Production > Scene Numbers
     On the "Numbers" tab:
          Check the "Add Numbers" box
          In the "Element" drop-down box, select "Character".
     On the "Options" tab:
          Uncheck the "Show numbers on right" box.
     Click "OK".

In Microsoft Word:
Insert > Field > AutoNum (or AutoLegalNum)
Do that for the first one, bold it, then select it and ctrl-c, then ctrl-v your way down the script.
This method has the advantage of automatically adjusting the numbering if you add or delete a line.

In Celtx:
Line numbering must be done by hand.
A very important note: Celtx has multiple script formats. If you are writing for Pendant, you need to use the "Film" format, and NOT the "Audio Play" format.

ARE THE CD-QUALITY VERIONS REALLY THAT MUCH NICER?

There is quite a large difference between the CD-quality master versions of our productions and the web-quality versions we make available for mass download.

So why do we make different versions?

Not all of our listeners have broadband. Without broadband, many of the CD-Quality master versions would be prohibitively large for people on dial-up. Trying to get a 20Mb file on a connection of that speed would be frustrating and close to impossible, and we want to make our shows accessible to everyone.

So just how much better do the CD-quality master versions sound? Take a listen to these two short clips prepared from the end scene of "Superman: The Last Son of Krypton" issue 12.

As you can hear for yourself, there's quite the difference! The master clip is much more crisp, clean and full of a lot of detail that's lost due to the compression for the web version.

So how can you get the CD-quality versions?

We'll be releasing bundles of episodes from time to time via Zip files, usually a short while after a particular season has ended.

Presently we have eighteen CD-Quality collections available:

Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Master Pack 1 (issues 1-12 collected)
Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Master Pack 2 (issues 13-24 collected)
Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Master Pack 3 (issues 28-41 collected)
Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Master Pack 4 (issues 44-54 collected)
Batman: The Ace of Detectives, Master Pack 1 (issues 1-12 collected)
Batman: The Ace of Detectives, Master Pack 2 (issues 16-28 collected)
Batman: The Ace of Detectives, Master Pack 3 (issues 31-42 collected)
Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira, Master Pack 1 (issues 1-12 collected)
Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira, Master Pack 2 (issues 16-28 collected)
Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira, Master Pack 3 (issues 31-41 collected)
Supergirl: Lost Daughter of Krypton, Master Pack 1 (issues 1-13 collected)
IMPERIUM - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman crossover, Master Pack (issues 1-9 collected)
VINDICATUM - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl crossover, Master Pack (issues 1-8 collected)
Star Trek: Defiant , Master Pack 1 (episodes 1-13 collected)
Star Trek: Defiant , Master Pack 2 (episodes 14-26 collected)
Star Wars: Blue Harvest, Master Pack 1 (episodes 1-12 collected)
James Bond: To The End, the complete feature (episodes 1-7 joined)
Indiana Jones and the Well of Life, the complete feature (episodes 1-9 joined)

WHAT ARE THESE TRIANGLE NUMBERS AND WHAT'S THE SUPERHERO SHOW ORDER?

All cover art for our superhero shows contains a triangle with two sets of numbers inside it. Have a look here:

Click here for full-size

The triangle in question is on the right side of the cover, just below the title. What the heck is that?

This was a technique employed in the '90s and into the early 2000s in Superman comics. Back then, the books had a tightly-knit continuity and the story continued from one comic book (say, "Action Comics") to the next (say, "Adventures of Superman"). These numbers let you know what order to read the books in to follow the overall story.

We here at Pendant are continuity nuts, and so this was something I immediately jumped on once we had artists willing to do covers for us. In the above image, the "2007" in the triangle is easy enough to figure out, that's quite obviously the year of release.

The "27" in the triangle means that, taken as a whole story with a tight continuity throughout all Pendant superhero shows, that episode ("Superman: The Last Son of Krypton" issue 32) was the 27th part of the ongoing story for that year. When the next year rolls around, the "2007" becomes "2008", the other number resets to "1" with the first superhero show to debut that year and we keep rolling onward.

In this method you know exactly what order to listen to all of the superhero shows in should you want to get the full picture of Pendant continuity.

Unfortunately, not all episodes have cover art, so included below is a list of all episodes of all superhero shows, in order of continuity, for your edification.

WHY ARE THERE NO MARVEL-COMICS BASED SHOWS? OR DR. WHO? OR...

Because we are busy, busy people. The fast answer is we do the projects we are most interested in (which is obvious if you think about it), and INSERT YOUR SHOW OF CHOICE is perhaps not among them.

The ones that come up most often, and the explanations for why we do not have fan shows based on them, are:

Why no Marvel Comics shows?
Any Marvel shows we created would detract from our ever growing and expanding "Earth P" continuity we've been building for over four years with our DC-based fan shows. If we're going to do superhero fan shows, we would rather add to our continuity and expand our universe than start up an entirely new one. And no, combining the two is out of the question for many reasons. Universes shall stay separate.

Why no Dr. Who show?
There are already a literal ton of Dr. Who radio dramas (official and otherwise). Yes, there are also a ton of Star Trek radio dramas, and we have "Star Trek: Defiant", but Defiant was a text story list started in 1995 and I would challenge you to find one continuous story and continuity in any of those other Trek shows that were around before that. Defiant is the granddaddy of them all.

Why no Buffy/Angel/Firefly/OMG DON'T YOU LOVE JOSS WHEDON show?
Other people are doing them already. Go listen.

What it ultimately boils down to is we work on the shows that interest us. If we worked on shows we didn't want to work on, you don't suspect we'd work on them for very long, do you? We understand you want to see your favorite universe or fandom brought to life monthly via Pendant Productions and, yes, that is flattering. Thank you. We're glad you like us enough to want that.

But realize every single episode of every single show is the end result of 40+ combined hours of work from dozens of people. These are not easy or quick to produce.

If you're really dying to see a Captain Caveman radio drama podcast and you pitch it to us and we pass, well... you can always produce it yourself!
